Question then becomes, which piece? I lean towards Bach's Arioso. Not sure of the BWV number. or Air on a G string. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tom Petty did a song called Kings Road but that was 1981 Dick a Dum Dum was a 1969 hit by Des O'Connor and it referenced Kings Rd 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJ360 6,734 Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 Since I mentioned the Official Monster Raving Loony Party elsewhere on here, I thought it might be appropriate to dig these out.. They don't make 'em like they used to! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,323 Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 Their joint leader, at one point, was Catmando... A cat. Cats make excellent politicians. They're egocentric, totally selfish and concerned only about what they can get out of any given situation. The only difference is, cats are quite honest about their motivations and intentions, making no attempt whatsoever to hide them. If only we could say the same of humans... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Homburg, released in September 1967, got to number 6 in the UK charts They did some great albums after WSOP and toured extensively in the USA. Albums of note were Shine on Brightly and Salty Dog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
